Digital BW, The Print

Hello Robert,

I have yet to find digitally produced B&W to be to my liking...maybe, it's
just too many years of shooting B&W film. Since I use medium and large
format for all my B&W, grain, sharpness, and tonal transitions/smoothness
are not issues for me. I'm also an old foggy who still shoots Tri-X and,
probably,
still has some Dektol coursing through my veins! <g> Nowadays, I scan my
film and produce quite nice B&W images usually on PR with an Epson 2200
driven by IP 5.6. I still miss the look of a finely crafted silver print,
but do not
miss the darkroom at all.

Good luck with whatever direction your B&W path leads you.

Subject: [Digital BW] Do most of you still shoot b&w on film?


To get your best b&w work using Epson's Ultrachrome printers, do you
generally shoot your subjects on film and scan it in?  Have you tied
shooting digitally, and were you at all satisfied with the end result?
